Arizona Governor Jan Brewer continues to display the kind of courage and conviction that very few modern-day politicians are capable of. In a concept completely foreign to our current rogue federal government, she continues to actively defend and protect her people.

The anti-American jackass in the white house could learn lots from principled American leaders like Gov. Brewer; alas King Zero has no interest in protecting our country, its citizens, or the things that have made us great.

Oh, of course…….the water:

From ESPN:

As ESPN previously reported, WWF, Greenpeace, Defenders of Wildlife, Pew Environment Group and others produced a document entitled “Transition Green” shortly after Obama was elected in 2008. What has happened since suggests that the task force has been in lockstep with that position paper.

Then in late summer, just after he created the task force, these groups produced “Recommendations for the Adoption and Implementation of an Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes National Policy.” This document makes repeated references to “overfishing,” but doesn’t once reference recreational angling, its importance, and its benefits, both to participants and the resource.

Additionally, some of these same organizations have revealed their anti-fishing bias by playing fast and loose with “facts,” in attempts to ban tackle containing lead in the United States and Canada.

That same tunnel vision, in which recreational angling and commercial fishing are indiscriminately lumped together as harmful to the resource, has persisted with the task force, despite protests by the angling industry.

As more evidence of collusion, the green groups began clamoring for an Executive Order to implement the task force’s recommendations even before the public comment period ended in February. Fishing advocates had no idea that this was coming.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, the New York Times reported on Feb. 12 that “President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.”

How far off course have we gotten when environmental extremists can exert this much influence over a sitting president?

Red State: A Declaration Of War:

After reflection on Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, I am left with one overarching conclusion: while boring, preachy, dull, overly serious, then flipping to overly jocular tones while trying to balance pandering to the middle class with holding his base — Barack Obama’s State of the Union address was a declaration of war on the free market. more…..

NRO: Statist Quo

Everything changes except President Obama. His agenda doesn’t change. He has had no second thoughts about the wisdom of his health-care policies, or any of his policies; resistance is always and only a reason for redoubling. Also unchanging is the condescension with which he articulates his agenda: He faulted himself for not explaining health care well enough to the easily confused American public. The same familiar strawmen dot the landscape of his rhetoric. (Republicans want to “maintain the status quo” on health care. This president is willing to listen to Republican ideas, just so long as he can then forget that he has ever done so.) Narcissism, too, is a constant companion. The opening of the speech, and the end, invited us to regard Obama as the embodiment of the nation. But it is not the country’s future that has suddenly come under doubt. It is his administration’s. It is not the country’s spirit that is in danger of breaking. It is contemporary liberalism’s. more…..

Byron York: Obama: You liked my speech? Please send money.

About an hour after the end of his State of the Union address, in which he called for an end to the partisan conflict that has plagued his first year in office, President Obama sent out a political fundraising appeal through his permanent campaign organization, Organizing for America. more…..

Two videos - the first is of Barack Obama on the campaign trail promising over and over that the healthcare negotiations would be covered on CSPAN, the second is of Robert Gibbs refusing to directly answer press corps reporters questions today (Jan 6, 2010) about this very obvious and very, very major lie.

Now here’s Gibbs on January 6, 2010 (turn volume up, it’s a little low):

Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

It’s worth pointing out with regards to Gibbs’ assertion in this video that “we covered this yesterday”, well, the reality is he ducked the question then, too.

Robert Gibbs, ladies and gentlemen, possible the only man in Washington, DC even more despicable than King Zero.

You know how Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al have been pushing the idea of ‘obscene’ insurance industry profits?

From the AP: FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

Quick quiz: What do these enterprises have in common? Farm and construction machinery, Tupperware, the railroads, Hershey sweets, Yum food brands and Yahoo? Answer: They’re all more profitable than the health insurance industry.

In the health care debate, Democrats and their allies have gone after insurance companies as rapacious profiteers making “immoral” and “obscene” returns while “the bodies pile up.”

Ledgers tell a different reality. Health insurance profit margins typically run about 6 percent, give or take a point or two. That’s anemic compared with other forms of insurance and a broad array of industries, even some beleaguered ones. more…..

Gee, another communist in the Obama White House? Who would have guessed?

First Van Jones, then Anita Dunn, and now Ron Bloom.

A video has just surfaced showing manufacturing czar Ron Bloom addressing an audience on February 27-28 2008, in which he says:

“we know that the free market is nonsense”

and

“We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun”
